About this role

We’re looking for a Talent Acquisition Lead to build and scale the hiring engine at Level Zero Health. Partnering with founders and hiring managers, you’ll run end-to-end hiring for high-impact scientific and engineering roles—from first outreach to signed offer—and build repeatable sourcing across IVD, mechanical/software engineering, materials science, biomedical engineering, chemistry, and biochemistry. You’ll raise the bar with rigorous, candidate-friendly assessment, using metrics to improve pipeline quality, time-to-hire, and offer acceptance.

What you’ll do

• Lead end-to-end hiring for high-impact scientific and engineering roles, from first outreach to signed offer
• Build sourcing engines for exceptional talent across IVD, mechanical and software engineering, materials science, biomedical engineering, chemistry, and biochemistry
• Develop trusted relationships with PhD-level and industry leaders through academic networks, specialist communities, conferences, and referrals
• Partner closely with founders and hiring managers to define roles, sharpen what “great” looks like, and close decisively
• Raise the bar on process by designing interviews and assessments that are rigorous, efficient, and genuinely candidate-friendly
• Be the face of Level Zero to the scientific community, delivering an outstanding candidate experience and strengthening our employer brand
• Use metrics and clear judgment to continuously improve pipeline quality, time-to-hire, and offer acceptance

What you bring

Essential:

• A strong track record hiring PhD-level scientists and deep tech engineers, with a focus on hiring for in-vitro diagnostics (IVD) companies, ideally in a high-growth startup environment
• Comfort speaking with highly technical candidates and translating complexity into clear hiring decisions
• Exposure to life sciences, chemistry, or engineering
• Sharp sourcing instincts and the grit to find and engage people who are not actively looking
• Experience building or meaningfully upgrading a recruiting function, not just running within one
• Excellent communication and an eye for quality in every detail, from outreach to offer

Nice to have:

• Experience hiring internationally, especially across the US and Europe
• Experience with UK visa sponsorship processes (e.g., Sponsor Licence management, Certificates of Sponsorship, and Skilled Worker visas)

Who you are

We value culture as much as we value technical expertise, creating an environment that’s equal parts collaboration, curiosity, and fun.

If our vision excites you, here are the qualities we look for:

• You live and breathe integrity, tackling challenges with honesty and transparency.

• You excel at open, clear communication and see every piece of feedback as a springboard for growth - especially in a science and data-focused environment.
• You’re motivated by creating real impact, particularly when it comes to advancing human health.
• You strike a balance between independence and collaboration, knowing when to seek support or invite others to join in.
• You’re confident in defending your ideas, while also valuing respectful, constructive debate as a path to better solutions.
• You thrive in the dynamic atmosphere of a startup, constantly evolving your skill set and fearlessly applying what you learn.

What we offer

• Competitive salary and equity, aligned with the importance of this role
• Direct partnership with the founders and real influence over how we scale
